    Nephrotic syndrome, a kidney disorder, can complicate ulcerative colitis. Surgical removal of the colon (colectomy) improved kidney function in one patient, suggesting immune system involvement.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis (UC) frequently presents with extraintestinal complications.
    • Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder characterized by heavy protein loss in urine.

    Observation:

    • This report details two cases of nephrotic syndrome in patients with long-standing ulcerative colitis.
    • One patient experienced two episodes of nephrotic syndrome, with the first episode leading to uremia.

    Findings:

    • Colectomy resulted in rapid improvement of renal function in the detailed patient case.
    • Kidney biopsies revealed focal glomerular sclerosis.
    • Complement system activity and positive response to steroids suggest humoral immune mechanisms in the renal disease pathogenesis.

    Implications:

    • This study describes nephrotic syndrome as a previously unreported complication of ulcerative colitis.
    • Findings highlight the potential role of immune system dysregulation in UC-associated kidney disease.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the link between UC and nephrotic syndrome.
